Penny's Hospital Alms Houses.

Penny's Almshouses in Lancaster were established from a £700 endowment left by William Penny (Mayor of Lancaster) in 1716. They were built for 12 poor men in 1720.
They are still lived in, but the grounds and chapel are open to view only on Heritage Open Weekends.
I had planned to use a photo of Lancaster Castle, which is a very imposing building, but as it looked a bit grim even in the bright sunshine, these charming cottages won the day.
